Cuvettes, Plastic (Product Code: SLE/CH/74) are small, clear-walled sample cells that hold a liquid in the light beam of a colorimeter or spectrophotometer, so its colour or absorbance can be measured. They are used in school, college and research labs for concentration measurements, reaction-rate studies and biochemical assays. These cuvettes are supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, for labs that rely on a chemistry consumables supplier in India and international markets.

A classic practical is plotting a calibration line for a coloured solution such as copper sulphate: a blank cuvette of solvent sets the zero, then standards of known concentration are read one after another, and an unknown is measured against the resulting graph. Cuvettes are equally useful for following a colour change over time in rate experiments, or for reading enzyme and protein assays in biology and biochemistry.
Hold a cuvette only by the faces that are not in the light path, fill it to a consistent level, and wipe the clear faces with lint-free tissue before inserting it. Turn it the same way round in the holder every time. Plastic cuvettes are generally chosen for visible-light work; check with us before using them for UV measurements. Most labs keep a stock of them alongside other items from a lab consumables supplier in India.
Plastic cuvettes are supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades as ScienceLab from Ambala, Haryana, and manufactures a wide range of laboratory and teaching equipment. Visit our company profile to find out more.
Instruments and accessories used with cuvettes:
Further lab supplies are listed under Chemistry Lab Equipment.
Will these cuvettes fit my instrument?
They are intended for colorimeters and spectrophotometers with a matching holder. Send us your instrument model through the contact page and we will confirm the fit.
Can they be used for UV readings?
Plastic cuvettes are typically used in the visible range. The wavelength range is not stated on this page, so ask us before planning UV work.
What volume and path length are they?
These details are not listed here and are confirmed on enquiry.
Are they reusable?
They can be rinsed and reused for routine classroom readings if the clear faces stay unscratched; replace any cuvette that is scratched or clouded, as it will affect results.
How are they packed and can I order in bulk?
Pack sizes are given in the quotation, and bulk quantities are supplied to institutions and distributors in India and international markets.
Send your instrument model and required quantity via the contact page, or add Cuvettes, Plastic to the enquiry cart with any other lab supplies you need.
